It's a small box that hangs on your network, comes with a single 1TB drive. There is a slot for a 2nd drive, which can be configured either as extra storage or a mirror. I'm not in the mood to trust it a lot since it states that it's a non-standard format and you can just shove one of their drives into a computer and find the data. It also demands that any drive installed is reformatted, so you cannot add data by adding a drive full of data.
